7.6.3c Progression - PO History

[ultrav]

We just upgraded to 7.6.3c and I was looking forward to having the "H" type order(enhancement in 7.6.3b) in P.O. so that these "H" history orders were not figured into qty on order in item location. However, I do not see H as an option when I go into an order. Is there something else I need to do? Is anyone using these H orders?

I have not heard of H type orders. Do you have a # for this enhancement? Or maybe you can cut and paste the descrption of it?

Here is the entry on the list of enhancements for 7.6.3b

Purchase Order & Receiving (P/O) 11.158.126 Original Bug # 00.995.533 - Reset On Order is reducing the on order quantity at the item location record for items on a closed PO. The inventory transaction history file still shows the items with a status of O = On Order. The On Order at the item location should not be reduced until the closed order is purged to history. Refer to document # 3.648.539 - this enhancement will add a new status that will allow users an option that will work with either method.

Here is Document# 3.648.539

Purchase Orders need a new status created for them that the Reset On Order process will ignore. The status (H = History) would be one that is not reversible and once set the user would not be able to change it. This would give the user the ability to set the status to History and the Reset On Order would ignore any lines on these purchase orders that have not been fully received. The Reset On Order process would reduce the quantity on order in the item location file and still allow the user to have the PO view drill down.

Adding the status of H = History gives users the option when they are setting the status of Purchase Orders. If they believe that the Purchase Order may be reopened and processed at a later time they can set the status to C = Closed. These closed orders would still show a quantity on order on order for any items on the closed PO that have not been fully received. If, however, the user decides that this Purchase Order will not have any additional changes or receipts they can then set the status to H = History. This would allow the quantity on order in the item location to be reduced, after running the Reset On Order process, for those items on the PO that have not been fully received.

There was a bug that was fixed in 7.6.100 (bug # 00.995.533). The bug was that the Reset On Order was ignoring Purchase Orders that had a status of C = Closed when resetting the on order quantities. This enhancement request would replace enhancement # 3625258.

Perhaps you have to update your screen set. I was not aware of the new status, but was aware that closing the PO only set the PO header and not the line, I have an update that updates the lines, then you run the reset and that works.

I copied the screeenset from user Macola - it is not there -do I have to do something else to update the screenset?
